What questions do you have for STBB?
CAN WE BE HEALTY AT ANY SIZE?
Our society has become far too focused on being ‘thin’ rather than being healthy.
There will always be those who rebel against this idea and say that you can be healthy, beautiful and happy even if you are overweight.

MARCH IN THE GARDEN
If you are tending to veggies, it’s best to use water that’s already been used from the shower, dishes or washing machine.
That is if you use biodegradable products.
It’s amazing how much water you can recycle if you just think about it and use the correct size basins! Water sparingly and either in the evening or early morning, so as not to ‘burn’ their leaves.
Patchwork shares the plant list for March. See it here.
ARO ROBBED AT GUNPOINT
It has been a traumatic ordeal at Animal Rescue Organisation.
Staff are still in total shock after a group of six armed men gained access to the administration office under the pretence of being prospective customers.
ARO is appealing to the public to assist with upgrading their current security and to assist in replacing equipment that was stolen. For more information, click here.
